*Marinalia nods and happier as on solid ground*

Thanks Farseer Irillis
Well Princess Marinalia if going for full titles.

*grabs a coffee and drinks rather quickly as needs a drink*
Want one?

*wonders what going on since her rest and looks round for any clues and least thankfully no more blood or bullet holes*

*Irilis cautiously accepts a mug of the hot brown stuff*

I have never before tried a Mon'keigh beverage.

*Tries some*

*Immediately becomes a caffeine fiend*

*Marinalia*

Take it slow then and ser how you like it.
I admit the range we have at moment is a tad... Limited.

*Sips own coffee happily*
Its not the best but its better than nothing!

*Irilis has finished her mug already, and seems to be vibrating*

What is this drink?

*Marinalia smiles*

Like it then?
Coffee... Its a drink with a stimulant called Caffine, recaff or a few other names.

Humans drink it to stay awake or wake up.

*Furia remains in corner quietly humming and carving a small woodern wolf waiting for news*

*The ESCHER enters the Room last, having dislodged the clowns trying to drag it down, and speaks to the nearest person*

This is not typical. I recommend nuclear bombardment of the anomalous area. Multiple friendly biologicals - I have recognized multiple of you. Power saving mode is active. Reactor demand - 50% of capacity. Impulsor units offline. Microhyperfractor offline. Constructors offline.

Ooc might not post much longer. Rather tired.
Night folks.

OOC: Night

*Irilis starts pacing the room, trying to dispel her newfound energy*

*Taeria comes back with fresh waffles, eggs, toast, and bacon*
Taeria: Finished!
*Taeria begins to set the table and elegantly place the plates and utensils in an orderly fashion*
*Yuki respects Hanna's slight fear of her and does her best to stay put. *
*Taeria takes off her pink apron and sets it back in the kitchen*
*Yuki poofs into her male form and he makes a dashing stride to the the table*
Yuki: Eat up!

*Taeria comes back with fresh waffles, eggs, toast, and bacon*
Taeria: Finished!
*Taeria begins to set the table and elegantly place the plates and utensils in an orderly fashion*
*Yuki respects Hanna's slight fear of her and does her best to stay put. *
*Taeria takes off her pink apron and sets it back in the kitchen*
*Yuki poofs into her male form and he makes a dashing stride to the the table*
Yuki: Eat up!

*Rachel smiles at Iris.*
Rachel: I am doing well too, Yuki took us to a safe place, and now we are back.
*She tilts her head.*
Rachel: Is everything alright now?

----
*The clowns slowly fade into the forest, not wishing to fight the gunslingers yet.*
*Jake starts to tread after them but is stopped by Roland.*
Roland: No... not yet.

---
*Ciri doesn't eat, just keeps hanging around Taeira.*
*Her eyes snap back and forth looking for any threats.*

*A portal opens next to Irilis and someone throws a book at her and shouts"

Portaldar: You are a vile and incompetent witch, with no understanding of the subject matter!

*The portal closes as abruptly as it opened, leaving Irilis looking as bedraggled as before*

*Milo leans against a nearby building and tries to catch his breath*
*is still bleeding from multiple cuts*
*he pauses and looks up as an unknown feeling courses through him*
*he begins scanning the surrounding base for the source of the feeling*

*Hrorki sighs heavily and begins looking for a doctor to help him get a bionic for his missing arm*

*Roland walks over to Milo, and Jake follows.*
Roland: Well met, do you know what those creatures were?
*Jake seems disinterested, and looks over at the forest hoping for a fight.*

---
*Eddie walks over to Irilis. (Imagine a New york man in his late twenties, with a bullet hole over his left eye. He wears a duster, with a red scarf around his neck. He has a single magnum on his side.)*
Eddie: The feth was that about?

*Irilis turns to Eddie in a disgruntled manner*

We were having a disagreement.

*Puts on her ghosthelm and starts rifling through the book*

*Voskrinod has disappeared from the room, having changed into his owl form and flew away*

*Nero stands up from the sofa he was chilling on and sighs*
N: Well, no more Devils means that I don't have to stay here.
*the demon hybrid walks off while hefting his sword, and disappears into a portal that closes behind him*

*Aerin is brewing potions in his room while thinking about the ingredients the shaman needs*

OOC: Belatedly, welcome back Tae. Good to see you back.

And welcome back Selym, long time no see.

*Milo glances up at Roland*
No, I'm sorry, I don't really know exactly WHAT those creatures were.
*he pauses and his brow furrows in concentration*
They appeared to be demons of some sort, but I don't know much more beyond that.
*he sighs in frustration*
My memory is in tatters right now, I'm sorry that I can't tell you more.

OOC: It's good to be back. My attendance here is always a shade patchier than I'd like :E

*Irilis stops at an obscure page in her book, takes out some chalk and begins drawing on the floor*

*Hanna watches Yuki walk off and saddens slightly*

*She sneaks off to her room to read more of her books*

*Begins moving around, surveying the Room, and traverses head to point at Irillis*

You are unfamiliar. And also altering the floor's pattern.

*Irilis notes the statements, and duly ignores them, continuing to scribble*

*Iris watches Hanna go off with a bit of concern then smiles at Rachel*
Iris: Things are going well enough
*She smiles at Tae as she's served food*
Iris: Thank you Taeria!

*Horus pokes his head into the kitchen as Morrigan walks outside to wait. She nods silently to Jake and Roland, looking both worried, upset and ashamed*

*Horus moves over and puts a hand on Iris's shoulder*
Horus: I'm going to help Morrigan, we're going to find Scatty... and put her to rest.
*Iris looks up at Horus, her mood suddenly pretty much ruined at the thought of poor Scatty*
*She gets up and hugs him tightly*
Iris:...Be safe... Keep Morrigan safe... Come back to me
*Horus nods grimly*
Horus: I will, don't you worry
*He hugs back, smiles sadly to Tae, Rach and Ciri*
Horus: Good to see you three alive and well. Take care.
*Waves and goes outside to meet Morrigan*

*Still attempting to get Irillis' attention, as Federation robots are hardly known for giving up*

Miss. My ætherics are down, but my other sensors are reporting anomalous influence on you. I fear that you may be being affected by one or multiple anomalies.

*Detects motion and looks at Iris*

*Finishes scribbling*

Oh. And what are you?


OOC: I just noticed that Irilis hasn't yet stopped balancing her sheathed sword on her head... Somehow...

*Roland nods to Milo, while Jake doesn't even bother to give him a nod.*
Roland: Get some rest, I will speak to you later when you are more clear minded. * Turns to Morrigan.* Well met, Morrigan.
*Jake stares at her coldly, and all that warm, spirited, young man is gone.*
*Roland doesn't press his son, but looks saddened by his silence.*
Roland: How are you? Is something wrong?
*Jake lights a cigarette, one of Denny's cigarettes, and looks away from the pair.*

---
*Rachel nods, and takes her seat.*
Rachel: Good I am glad. Hello Horus!

*Ciri don't say gak to Horus.*

---
*Eddie frowns.*
Eddie: Sure... start drawing on the floor, I'm glad you think that is alright.

*Milo nods to Roland*
Ok. I'll see you later then sir.
*notices that Jake is a bit distant, but errs on the side of caution and doesn't comment on it*
*limps off towards the dormitory area, puts some crude bandages over the myriad of cuts that he has, and passes out nearly instantly*

*Hrorki walks off towards the infirmary to see if there is anyone there with some medical knowledge who could help him out with his arm*

I am an Experimental Sapient Crossdimensional Hyperfractor-equipped Exploration Robot - or ESCHER. I am here to catalogue social constructs, concepts, and technologies not present in my home universe.

Who are you?

*Morri looks over at Jake sadly*
Morri: There's... a lot wrong Roland... a whole fething lot... Right now.. Well Horus and I are going to hunt Scatty...
*She explains what she knows of the situation, that being Scatty's death bringing out what seemed to be a dormant alternate personality*

*Horus frowns worriedly at Ciri but nods to Rachel before heading out*
Horus: Good day Rachel! Sorry I can't stay to talk, but I've got work to do.

*Roland nods.*
Roland: Well... that is a shame. But walking in those woods is not the best thing to do... creatures are out there..
Jake: Let's just go... Scatty deserves death, she gave safe passage to Leo even when she knew Leo was a monster killing innocent. I say we end her.
*Roland grimaces at Jake's comment, and sighs.*

---
*Rachel smiles at Horus.*
Rachel: Have a good day at work!
*Starts eating some of Tae's food.*

*Hanna flips the pages of her book and eventually gets a little hungry*

*She buts the book down and winces as she bites off her thumb*

*She whimpers quietly and waits for her thumb to regrow*

*Her left eye has gone black and red*
